Fire Engulfs Commercial Building Near CA Airport

Aug. 5, 2022
The building in Oakland was red-tagged because it burned earlier this year.

Oakland firefighters who battled a blaze near the airport Friday morning were familiar with the structure.

That's because they were there several months ago. "This is a vacant building that was red tagged," Oakland Fire officials said on its Twitter page.

Dark smoke and fire were visible when dispatchers started getting calls about 5:45 a.m. Additional units responded to assist. The fire was deemed under control after 7 a.m.

There were no injuries or flight delays.
